Editor Bios
Thomas Baumgartner received his Dr. rer. nat. degree from
the University of Bonn, Germany in 1998 working with
Edgar Niecke. Between 1999 and 2002 he was a postdoc-
toral fellow in the group of Ian Manners at the University of
Toronto, Canada. In 2002 he started his independent career
at the Johannes Gutenberg‐University in Mainz and later at
RWTH‐Aachen University, both Germany. From 2006 to
2017 he was a faculty member in the Department of
Chemistry at the University of Calgary, Canada. In 2017 he
accepted a position as Full Professor and Canada Research
Chair in Sustainable Organomain Group Materials at York
University in Toronto, Canada. His research interests
involve molecular and supramolecular organophosphorus π‐conjugated materials with
a focus on sustainable energy‐conversion and ‐storage schemes. He has been recog-
nized with several distinctions, including a Liebig fellowship from the German chemical
industry association, an Alberta Ingenuity New Faculty Award, a Japan Society for the
Promotion of Science Invitation Fellowship, and a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research
Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
Frieder Jäkle is a Distinguished Professor in the Department
of Chemistry at the Newark Campus of Rutgers University.
He received his Diploma in 1994 and Ph.D. in 1997 from
TU München, Germany, under the direction of Prof.
Wagner. After a postdoctoral stint with Prof. Manners at
the University of Toronto he joined Rutgers University in
2000. His research interests are centered around the area
of main group chemistry as applied to materials and cataly-
sis, encompassing projects on organoborane Lewis acids,
conjugated hybrid materials, luminescent materials for
optoelectronic and sensory applications, stimuli‐responsive
and supramolecular polymers. He is the recipient of an NSF CAREER award (2004), an
Alfred P. Sloan fellowship (2006), a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award of the
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2009), the ACS Akron Section Award (2012), the
Boron Americas Award (2012) and the Board of Trustees Research Award at Rutgers
University (2017). He currently serves on the editorial advisory boards of several
journals, including Macromolecules, ACS Macro Letters, and Organometallics.
